Operation Safe House targeted active sex offenders on GPS supervision and
was organized in response to allegations that parolees may be in possession
of child pornography, possession and use of illegal substances, possession
of firearms and alleged prostitution. The LAPD has also received numerous
complaints of rampant drug trafficking at the “Harbor Inn Hotel.”
Furthermore, the operation ensured sex offenders were in compliance with
conditions of parole and sex offender registration requirements.

In
total, 8 parolees were arrested for various violations and one probationer
was arrested for probation violations. Firearms ammunition was located in
the community bathroom of the hotel and four computers were seized by the
FBI for possible open filings of cyber related crimes.
